Perfect Casting


In the 1993 film Shattering the Silence aka Not In My Family, Shelley starred with Joanna Kerns (as her sister) and Dina Merrill (as their mother.) Talk about perfect casting, the three women look like they are related. It brings to mind the comment Nolan Miller once made in an interview where he likened Shelley to Dina. The film is available on DVD but a short clip from it is on YouTube. Check it out...

The Charlie Girls


In 1990, supermodel Linda Evangelista signed on as Revlon's newest Charlie Perfume Girl. The Charlie perfume commercial Linda appeared in was a kind of homage to the sensational Shelley Hack/ Bobby Short commercial from 1976. In fact, clips from the original were used in the 1990 version. A supermodel in an homage to another supermodel, WOW. Watch them both on YouTube...
